Out of the two which one would you recommend that as a community we
should use?
Checking in Python 3.14, there is 'contextlib' module which contains utilities
to work with 'with-statement' contexts.
abc.ABC(builtins.object)
AbstractAsyncContextManager
AsyncExitStack(_BaseExitStack, AbstractAsyncContextManager)
aclosing
AbstractContextManager
ExitStack(_BaseExitStack, AbstractContextManager)
chdir
closing
nullcontext(AbstractContextManager, AbstractAsyncContextManager)
suppress
builtins.object
ContextDecorator
_BaseExitStack(builtins.object)
AsyncExitStack(_BaseExitStack, AbstractAsyncContextManager)
ExitStack(_BaseExitStack, AbstractContextManager)
_RedirectStream(AbstractContextManager)
redirect_stderr
redirect_stdout
Thus, 'with' is the idiomatic way to write code containing compound statements.
